Russia has destroyed or damaged more than half of Ukraine’s power generation.In recent months, Moscow has intensified its attacks in a renewed assault against the country’s energy grid.
Ukraine began implementing rolling blackouts on 15 May, with entire districts of the capital disconnected from the power grid to save energy. On Friday, the Netherlands also announced it, in collaboration with another unnamed country, would supply Ukraine with an additional Patriot missile system. This contribution will increase the total number of Patriots to seven, a number Zelenskiy has stated was needed to “secure our main urban agglomerations” against Russian missile attacks.
While the long summer light makes the situation somewhat bearable, Babich said, many fear the colder winter months to come, when electricity demand will spike. Lt Col Nazar Voloshyn from the Khortytsia operational strategic group of forces, based in Kharkiv, said in a statement on Telegram on Saturday that his unit has recorded a withdrawal of Russian troops near Liptsi and Tykhe, two districts that have seen some of the heaviest fighting as part of Russia’s Kharkiv offensive.
